Locals and visitors of all ages are invited to the third annual Mrs. Walsh`s Garden Party on Saturday, Aug. 6, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Located on West Elkhorn across from Performance Park, this free family event will include music, laughter, refreshments and fun.

Children can awaken their senses with hands-on activities, including a seed planting station, bubbles, a fishing pond game and more. Adults can learn practical high-altitude gardening tips from CSU extension master gardeners, a soil scientist and a Native Plant Society expert.

Guests will also take pleasure in the abundance of flowers and plants native to the surrounding Rocky Mountain region.

Well-identified plant displays of the foothills, montane, subalpine and alpine life zones can be found while strolling along the footpath in this abundant garden.

Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of Judy Lamy, the garden is a treasure for locals and visitors to Estes Park. Lamy was dedicated to creating a tribute that would honor her grandmother, Winifred Walsh, and her family`s love of the area.

Mrs. Walsh`s Garden is located on West Elkhorn Avenue across from Performance Park. It is also a stop on the Estes Park free shuttle route. Open daily from dawn until dusk, the garden is wheelchair accessible. No pets, please.
